How much are you willing to pay as a fan for a collector's item? Well, Yonce' plans to release a special box set featuring the album on vinyl, in addition to a 600-page coffee table book with “hundreds of never-before-seen photos” from the making of the album. The book, which welcomes a forward from Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, also boasts poetry by Warsan Shire. Although her album Lemonade came out last year, Bey is still serving Lemonade.
And to stick with the whole Lemonade theme: How To Make Lemonade Box Set, the made-to-order collector’s edition item finds the vinyl record appropriately coming in a lemon color.
The box set shipping will occur this summer. For more info click here.more

Depression is a serious mental illness that many people struggle with on a daily basis. Last night on Facebook Kid Cudi informed his fans that he has checked into rehab to get help with his illness. Sending prayers up for Cudi.
Its been difficult for me to find the words to what Im about to share with you because I feel ashamed. Ashamed to be a leader and hero to so many while admitting I've been living a lie. It took me a while to get to this place of commitment, but it is something I have to do for myself, my family, my best friend/daughter and all of you, my fans.
Yesterday I checked myself into rehab for depression and suicidal urges.
I am not at peace. I haven't been since you've known me. If I didn't come here, I wouldve done something to myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions everyday of my life. Theres a ragin violent storm inside of my heart at all times. Idk what peace feels like. Idk how to relax. My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it. I cant make new friends because of it. I dont trust anyone because of it and Im tired of being held back in my life. I deserve to have peace. I deserve to be happy and smiling. Why not me? I guess I give so much of myself to others I forgot that I need to show myself some love too. I think I never really knew how. Im scared, im sad, I feel like I let a lot of people down and again, Im sorry. Its time I fix me. Im nervous but ima get through this.
I wont be around to promote much, but the good folks at Republic and my manager Dennis will inform you about upcoming releases. The music videos, album release date etc. The album is still on the way. Promise. I wanted to square away all the business before I got here so I could focus on my recovery.
If all goes well ill be out in time for Complexcon and ill be lookin forward to seeing you all there for high fives and hugs.
Love and light to everyone who has love for me and I am sorry if I let anyone down. I really am sorry. Ill be back, stronger, better. Reborn. I feel like shit, I feel so ashamed. Im sorry.
I love you,
Scott Mescudimore

P.Diddy has hustled his way to the number 1) spot on the 2016 Forbes Cash Kings List. We all know Diddy is one of the most hard working men in the game so his spot on the list isn't too surprising. My fav Jay Z comes in at number 2) and Nicki Minaj makes the number 6) slot on the list. Meek Mill didn't make the list but his girl did, so he's straight. Check out the full listing inside.more
